Hi All,
I've installed Virtualbox-ose which works fine as root,
but when i try
gpasswd -a me vboxusrs (as root)
it comes up saying permission denied,
any ideas?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

From this I think we can safely assume that it's because the group vboxusers doesn't exist anywhere?

did you installed virtualbox-ose from community or manualy?
if you have installed manualy then create the group: groupadd -g 108 vboxusers and then add your username to that group
